SAMHSA quality guidance supports asking about licensing, accreditation, evidence-supported care, medications when clinically appropriate, family involvement, and continuing-care planning. Ask which license or accreditation applies, how to verify it, and whether it covers the location and service under discussion. Ask what professional roles are present or available, at what times, and who makes medication-related decisions. These are questions, not statements about Living Longer Recovery.
Medication policies can vary by person, substance, health history, service setting, and current operations. Ask how existing prescriptions are reviewed, how medication decisions are made when clinically appropriate, and what happens if a needed option is unavailable. Never infer that a particular medication is provided. Likewise, ask whether and how a chosen family member may participate, subject to the individual’s consent, and when continuing-care planning begins.
- Which license and any accreditation apply to this service and address?
- Which professional roles are available for the proposed dates and circumstances?
- How are current prescriptions and clinically appropriate medication options reviewed?
